Meghan is homecoming queen in previously unseen footage
A ‘royal’ in her teens! Previously unseen footage of Meghan shows her crowned high school homecoming queen as the Markle family prepares to fight back
Meghan Markle waves to her peers while wearing a tiara in previously unseen footage of her in high school that has surfaced.
The now 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex looks regal in grainy images from her school days when she was proclaimed Homecoming Queen by her friends.
She waves gracefully to her peers before putting her hand over her mouth, her face appearing to be shocked at her award.
The footage was released as part of a 7NEWS Australia Spotlight special on the Duchess of Sussex, in which her estranged father Thomas Markle and sister, Samantha Markle, talk about Meghan.
In another clip, the Duchess shows her early interest in performing arts as she dances on stage in what appears to be a school production.

In the high school clip, Meghan appears to be wearing a white dress and tiara as she rides across the school field with the homecoming king.
In another clip she walks arm in arm with the ‘king’ who is dressed in a tight black tuxedo.
Elsewhere in the home movies, the Duchess can be seen on stage when she was just a young child.

The documentary’s trailer hears of Meghan’s father Thomas Markle and her half-siblings Samantha and Thomas Jr.
As part of the special, the Markles are depicted watching old home videos and smiling. At one point, a beaming Samantha rests her head on her father’s shoulder.
Samantha tells the camera, “[Meghan] would still be a waitress if it weren’t for Dad.’
Thomas Jr then says, “We’re not leaving.” This is going to change everything.’
It is unclear what the Duchess’s half-brother is referring to.
As clips of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex walking together at the public announcement of their engagement and then at their final Commonwealth Day service before leaving the UK, Samantha’s voice can be heard over the footage.
She says: ‘Very unhealthy for each other. It’s a toxic relationship.”
